Femtosecond pump‐probe spectroscopy is used to measure the excited state absorption dynamics in triplet excitons generated by continuous wave excitation of a conjugated polymer. Saturation of the T 1 – T n transition is observed, allowing a cross‐section of 2.0 × 10 −16  cm 2 to be established. Relaxation to T 1 occurs with a 300 fs timescale, but 20% of T n states dissociate into charges.
